Pamir Mountains, Mountain range in eastern Tajikistan.
The Pamir Mountains span across 7,495 meters in elevation, containing numerous peaks and extensive glaciers covering approximately 10 percent of the total area.
The mountain range functioned as a vital segment of the Northern Silk Road, facilitating trade connections between ancient Chinese capitals and Central Asian territories.
The valleys of the Pamir Mountains contain different ethnic groups speaking Iranian languages, with a notable presence of Ismaili Muslim communities.
The optimal period for mountain expeditions runs from July through September when snow melts and paths become accessible for trekking activities.
Lake Sarez formed in 1911 when a substantial landslide created a natural dam in the Murgab River valley, resulting in water accumulation.
